Re: Semi Final 2: France Vs Portugal
Great game? Portugal had all the possession but you have to actually do something with the ball because possession alone cannot win you matches (as spain found out the hard way against france)
IMO, Portugal never really looked like scoring. They lacked ANY creativity in the final third (which is a surprise considering players like Figo, Deco, Ronaldo and Simao). They relied heavily on long range efforts. Thats not well played, thats one dimensional. I like the portuguese team in euro 2004. They were stylish, technical and creative. Altho they reached semis this time around, they were one dimensional, whiners and divers.
